There should be no reason the toilet would overflow. The water being turned off should have no effect on it. As long as the drain is clear even if the shut off valve in the tank didn't work, the water will just go down the drain.

Why cant you flush the orthra nova birth control patch down the toilet?

The things that can be flushed down the toilet must be organic, soluble and biodegradable. Everything that goes down the toilet has to be sent for treatment and turned back into pure water and compost to prevent pollution of the environment. Things like babies nappies, condoms, tampons and patches are not biodegradable and they block up the sewage system. Put patches etc in the trash.


Why does the toilet bubble when you turn water on in tub?

I assume you mean the water is hot when you flush it. If so the toilet has been plumbed into the hot water system when it should be plumbed into the cold. That happened to me once I thought the toilet was going through menopause, However as it turned out however the hot flushes turned out to be a hot water pipe being connected rather then a cold water pipe.

Why would hotwater tap in upstairs bathroom not flow at all when other taps in the house are fine?

I would hope you have your problem solved by now but the first place I would check is for a valve under the sink that is turned off. Overflowing should be a separate problem and you would check the trap under the sink.


Why does the toilet not flush?

Assuming you have a regular tank toilet with a ball float and rubber flap and that the water is turned on and the tank is filling, the most common cause of a toilet not flushing is a broken or detached chain that runs from the handle lever to te rubber flap that keeps the water in the tank.

Why does the toilet run every time a faucet is turned off or when the washer is done filling?

Pressure differences are causing the stop to bounce. This causes temporary water flow in the tank. A new float should take care of this issue.
